OpenAI announces ChatGPT support for MCP, conference recording

On June 4, OpenAI began a technical live broadcast to make major updates to ChatGPT, including the launch of ChatGPT meeting record mode for macOS users, which can transcribe any meeting, brainstorming or voice notes, quickly extract key points and then convert them into new content. Another important feature is that ChatGPT officially supports the MCP protocol. For example, it can directly connect to common tools such as Github, SharePoint, Gmail, Dropbox, Box, Outlook, etc. to achieve cross-platform data integration, search and reasoning. In short, OpenAI hopes to make ChatGPT an intelligent collaboration platform that can do everything in one place.

Emerging economies trust AI more than developed economies

A major survey by the University of Melbourne and professional services firm KPMG has found that people in emerging economies are more willing to trust artificial intelligence and are more optimistic and excited about its benefits than those in developed economies. The global study shows that two-thirds of respondents now use AI regularly, and even more (83%) believe that it will bring widespread benefits. But 58% of respondents believe that the technology is not trustworthy, which is an increase from the level found in a study before ChatGPT came out in 2022. The survey also found that three-fifths of people in emerging economies trust AI, while only two-fifths of people in developed countries do. Gillespie, who led the study, believes that the higher acceptance and trust of AI in emerging economies is due to the greater relative benefits and opportunities that the technology provides to people in these countries, as well as the increasingly important role it plays in economic development.
